David Fellom
b. 1955; San Francisco ∙ CE artist from 2007 -
David Fellom mainly creates drawings and paintings from his imagination. He is interested both in the human figure as well as houses and modes of transportation: buses, vans, airplanes, and cars. Fellom begins by creating a series of drawings that are outlined in black permanent marker. He simplifies the subject into intersecting shapes, which sometimes appear abstract. Afterwards, Fellom methodically fills in these shapes with flat areas of color. Fellom says that Creativity Explored is the “best thing that’s ever happened” to him, and enjoys creating artwork because the process is soothing. In his time at Creativity Explored, Fellom’s compositions became more complex, including several objects or characters in one work and sometimes adding text to relate the work to his own experience.
